RE: Extending serial link from PC t HV

["Kenneth Watt" <kennethwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Graham,

This is so easy even I managed it with no bother!

Standard RS232 connectors and you need:

Pin 2: TXD
Pin 3: RXD
Pin 5: Ground

That's it! Three connections and, reputedly, it's good for runs of over
30M.

Subject: [ukha_d] Extending serial link from PC t  HV

I have recently moved my HomeVision to be nearer to my node 0 so that I
can
patch the video in to my RF modulator. As a temporary measure I have
connect
the HV t  the serial port of a PC that is near the node 0 and everything
works fine. However this is not my main PC and is not connected to a
UPS,
neither is it connected to Comfort. So I want t  extend the connection
>from
the HV t  the main PC, preferably over CAT5 as there is plenty of that
about. Does HV use all wires in the serial connection, if not which does
it
use and is it possible to simply map these to cables in CAT5 (if so
which
ones should I use). Alternatively is there another cheap way of
extending a
serial connection to about 10 metres.

Regards

Graham
